A Victorville Sheriff’s deputy accused of conducting sex acts with a 17-year-old girl in his patrol car was charged today with two counts of oral copulation with a person under 18.

Deputy Anthony Benjamin, 30, was arrested April 4 and later posted $100,000. He is due to be arraigned June 6.

Investigators suspect the sex acts occurred while the victim, a 17-year-old girl, was on ride-alongs with the deputy.

Sheriff’s officials said the girl was a member of its police Explorer program.

Benjamin was the second deputy in two-week period to be arrested on suspicion of having sex with a child in the program.

Highland deputy Nathan Gastineau, 30, was arrested April 22 after he was accused of having sex with a 16-year-old female Explorer. He has not yet been charged, but he is due to be arraigned June 2.

Sheriff’s officials said Wednesday that Gastineau is no longer an employee of the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department. Benjamin is still employed, but is on paid administrative leave, said Sheriff’s spokeswoman Cindy Bachman.

Sheriff Rod Hoops said the Explorer ride-along program will be suspended and the entire program will be fully reviewed and overhauled following the the accusations against Benjamin.
